I don't know a lot of openings
What are the best openings?
Sort:
For 1 e4 play 1...c5 the Sicilian and you have the option to play a variation that you like.
I have played 5 variations of the Sicilian already. I find the Najdorf variation and Dragon variation are good for beginners. Those are the ones i started with playing against e4. I did not have to learn all those lines after white plays 1 e4 and they have to focus on what move i may play.
They get tricked and i get the treat.

Just learn the opening fundamentals.
When i first learned how to move the pieces i played the KID on White and Black even if my opponet played e4( just move the e5 pawn instead, did not know any better back then), c4 and etc. Funy is that i won a lot of games..... ....Beginners Luck?
The opening in your repetoire which opponent of the moment plays worst.
is the ruy lopez and the sicilian ok?
what about QGD?
The Ruy Lopez is more sage than good.

The best openings are the ones that work for you. Don't expect total strangers to give you a "one size fits all" opening repetoire. The great hypermodern GM Richard Reti advises beginners (in "Masters of the Chessboard") to play open games exclusively (well as much as possible) and by open games he specifically means Double KP Openings as White and Black whenever you can. Next he recommends learning semi-open games (Single KP Openings, Double QP Openings) and saving closed games (Single QP Openings, Flank Openings) for last.

A crazy opening that cameto my mind in the past is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 a6 for blitz and bullet

I should have know you when i first started playing online chess as i would be a lot further deep into understanding the game. But then their is something about the person who struggles and makes mistakes along the way and learns from them. I think the route i went has some advantages to them.
Used to play that opening.
I play kings gambit and danish gambit.
So true TomHaegin but we have to add that the best opening is the one which your opponent does not know how to beat
Fix your opening as a beginner. Maybe e4 or d4? I am a beginner too xD
List of e4 openings here!
help me rate(1-10). ruy lopez,sicillian, queens gambit declined, slav defence, kings indian defence, nimzo-indian defence, queens indian defence, kings indian attack, grunfeld.
if they dont know how to play it there screwed
Sounds like noob country anthem to me.
As has been said, play 1. e4 e5. Italian Game would be my recommendation from there. Other openings are just as good, but why smother yourself in the bowels of the Sicilian when you can play something with straightforward development that will lead to an instructive, tactical middle game?
The Sicilian is one of the best attack defense to play.
Plus it has so many variations of variations your opponent can never be truly sure which one you will play. The advantage will be all yours in the game.
